Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Just be sure to scrutinize the ingredients in those refried beans. A lot of them contain lard.
Also, don't forget to include as many dark leafy greens in those rice and beans, which will help a lot in lowering cholesterol.
What's wrong with lard?
It is a healthy source of nutrients and beat chemically treated oil every day health and flavour wise.
ethically speaking, lard being derived from pigs makes it automatically wrong to use, as well as being a contributor to the environmental and zoonitic disease problems that are inherent in animal agriculture.
But even purely from a health standpoint, lard is absolutely not healthy. It's extremely high in saturated fats making it one of the worst choices for anyone trying to manage their heart health.
And don't even start with that seed oil pseudoscientific fad nonsense. That garbage is thoroughly debunked.

You don't know what you are talking about.
Lard is healthy food that has been used for thousands of years. Super dense in nutrients and can be used as foundation of a healthy diet. You are relying on big industry research partially funded by big seed pil manufacturers among other clowns. Also, it is fucking animal fat of course it will have saturated fat jfc child
Nothing wrong with seed oil per se. The issue is the extract method hence why specified "chemically treated oil e"
Here I am specifically talking about hexane which how vast majority of oil is made. It is the cheap shit sold in processed foods and other slop.
Lard is better than this processed trash every time. People should not be consuming oil this way.
I dropped authoritative sources, and you're just spouting conspiracy theories. Reality isn't whatever you want it to be.
Your source didn't disprove my thesis re seed oil. Which part is the conspiracy theory, please clarify.
What your sources for the lard claim?
As side note, providing link to support a factually incorrect claims is not W

That's what I thought.
Thank you.
I do green peppers and asparagus, green but not so much leafy lol, along with a sweet onion. Meal prep that stuff on Sunday and my lunches for the week are all taken care of. It's like one of the few areas of my life I feel like I'm doing pretty well in.
